Is it possible to remove unwanted fat permanently without surgery, needles, or pain?

“Yes,” Dr. Randy A. Birken said.  “CoolSculpting is a non-invasive, non-surgical technique that uses the process of cryolipolysis to remove areas of fat on the abdomen, flanks, arms, and legs.”

CoolSculpting® is a revolutionary non-surgical contouring treatment that freezes stubborn fat, which then is naturally eliminated from your body.  No needles, no special diets, no supplements, no surgery.  And most importantly, no downtime. 

Dr. Birken is a board certified physician and Clinical Assistant Professor at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas.  He has done post graduate training with the American College for The Advancement of Medicine, Worldlink Health, Age Management Medicine Group, Cenegenics Medical Institute, National Society of Cosmetic Physicians, and the Grossman Wellness Clinic.  He has offices in The Woodlands, Texas and Steamboat Springs, Colorado.  He is the medical director for Birken Medical Aesthetics of The Woodlands.

“To offer patients a safe way to permanently remove fat and without downtime is the best of both worlds,” Dr. Birken continued.  “Now I can give patients an option between in-office liposuction and a non-surgical approach as well.”

CoolSculpting® is the coolest, most innovative, non-surgical way to lose those annoying bumps and bulges of stubborn fat. This revolutionary technology targets and cools unwanted fat cells in the selected area to induce a noticeable, natural-looking reduction in fat bulges.

Unlike most other methods of fat reduction, CoolSculpting involves no needles, surgery, or downtime.  Patients often spend procedure time reading, working on their laptops, or simply relaxing.

It’s safe, FDA-cleared and effective.­­ Results look natural and can be seen as early as three weeks following treatment, with the most dramatic results after one to three months.

As we age, it becomes difficult to lose fat in certain areas in our body, usually abdomen, flanks, back, and hips.  Liposuction removes fat in these annoying areas effectively.  Performing these procedures in an office setting is not only safe but more economical.

“Tumescent anesthesia allows the surgeon to do liposuction with the patient awake and allows a better approach to liposuction since the patient can move easily in order to removed difficult areas where fat accumulates,” Dr. Randy Birken said.  “Patients are comfortable, relaxed, and find the in-office setting to be less anxiety provoking as well as financial more acceptable.”

Dr. Birken is a board certified physician and has trained with the National Society of  Cosmetic Physicians  and the International Society for  Cosmetogynecologists.  He is a Clinical Assistant Professor at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas and has his medical office in The Woodlands, Texas.

Is in-office liposuction better than traditional liposuction?

“There are several advantages,” Dr. Randy Birken said, founder of Birken Medical Aesthetics.  “First, there’s no general anesthesia, making the procedure safe.  And secondly, the surgeon can do more fat sculpturing since the patient can turn and even stand, exposing areas of fat that may be missed when the patient is sleep.”

In-office liposuction is less costly as well, since there are no anesthesia or hospital facility fees.  Done with tumescent local anesthesia, the patient experiences no pain during the procedure and can even watch as fat is reduced and suctioned away.

“It really is the way to do liposuction today,” Dr. Birken says.  “More effective, safer, and less expensive.  The Awake laser liposuction, using tumescent anesthesia, is preferred by most patients.”

Dr. Birken is a board certified gynecologist and member of both the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgeons and the American Academy of Cosmetic Gynecologists.

Liposuction is usually done under a general anesthetic. But some physicians perform the procedure with laser and while the patient is awake in an office setting.

“By using the tumescent anesthetic technique, the patient is awake and recovers quicker, ” Dr. Randy Birken, a board certified physician said.  “Not only is it an easier procedure on the patient, but we can sculpture the fat better by having the patient turn and even standup.”

Dr. Birken uses laser to help improve healing and skin tightening.

“Fat has to be suctioned thoroughly,” Dr. Birken continued.  “But the laser adds a nice touch to the results.”

What is lipodissolve and how does it work?

“Mesotherapy (Lipodissolve) was developed in the early 1950′s and is used widely in Europe and gaining popularity in the U.S.,” Dr. Randy Birken, founder of Birken Medical Aesthetics, said.  “Solutions are either injected or applied without needles through a transdermal technique.  Fat is absorbed into the blood and excreted in the urine and stool.”

Dr. Birken has been performing lipodissolve for many years with much success.

“It takes several sessions to reduce fat, but now with a no-needle approach, treatment is simple, safe, and without pain.”
